The Hadid clan’s $85 million LA mansion can be yours

Breaking the bank has never been so worthy

Mohamed Hadid’s crowning achievement could well be giving his two beautiful and talented daughters – Gigi and Bella – to this world. But there’s more to him than his 21st-century famous family. The LA-based real estate developer’s sprawling Bel-Air mansion that he had been living in for quite some time is literally the stuff of dreams. But now, after a long stint in the residence, the Hadid’s are on the move.

David O.Marlow/ Coldwell-Banker Previews International

The mansion is now up for sale and has been listed on this website for a chill $85,000,000 and despite the number of zeros on that figure, there are those who would even say that’s a steal. Take a glimpse at the opulence it offers and we’re sure you’d agree too. Spread across 2.2 acres, the mansion ‘Belvedere’ has 10 bedrooms and 14 baths.

However, the reason why this palace deserves its price tag is in the details. While we know it could get nippy in the winters in LA, the mansion houses a ridiculous 14 fireplaces. The 40,000 sq.ft. mansion is split into three floors. Sure, there’s an elevator – but that’s only because stepping on the exquisitely carved staircase would probably be an insult to it.

There’s also a ballroom adequate for housing 200 people, a special screening room with Moroccan art and design and even a winery with a joint-dining room. Put in an open air pool with breathtaking views and you get yourself a mansion that’s enough to make them sheikhs in Dubai pretty jealous.

Hadid isn’t the only person with a house worth beyond an arm and leg put together. These celebrities are just as invested in real estate.

The passage linking the halls and the corridors has a marble ceiling. And the objects in the alcoves are gifts given to the President by visiting head of states.

The Golden Archway

The ceiling was handpainted by skilled artisans and the sweeping strokes on the patterned floor are a sharp contrast to the finely gilded ceiling.

The grand stairway

The stairway leads to the Ashoka Hall at the Bhavan. The inlay star pattern on the floor is a recurring motif in architect Edwin Lutyen’s (the architect of Rashtrapati Bhavan) designs.

The bedroom at the Rashtrapati Bhavan

The wooden chair with the backrest carved in the pattern of a spider’s web was designed for the Rashtrapati Bhavan specifically. All other furniture in the wood paneled bedroom was added later.

The President's study

Located on the ground floor, the President’s study is decorated with intricate patterns on the ceiling, mirrored in the chandeliers. A handwoven Kashmiri carpet covers the floor.

The formal meeting hall

This is the formal meeting room where the President meets visiting delegations. The chairs and armchairs in the room were designed by Lutyens.

Three and half bathrooms give the footballer and his guests enough personal space.

The throne room

One of the most stunning actresses ever to grace Bollywood’s big screen, it’s obvious that Sonali Bendre would have a few A-list friends on speed dial.

Sonam Kapoor's lavish house

For a 30-year-old who still lives at home with her parents, Sonam Kapoor’s Juhu bungalow isn’t too shabby. Ethnic wooden interiors, bouquests of fresh flowers and white upholstery define the space.
